Samuel Adams Bonfire Blonde

Boston Beer Co.

If you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into, this is going to be a very disappointing blond ale. But if you do … this is a surprisingly assertive and serious inclusion in the Sam Adams Fall Variety Pack: a smoked rye ale with Hallertau Mittelfrueh hops, with an expressive core of beechwood-smoked malt and spicy, fiery edges. Bold in a time of big-label caution.
